Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurolemmocytes, also known as Schwann cells, are responsible for myelinating axons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Each neurolemmocyte wraps around a single axon to form a myelin sheath, typically covering about a 1mm portion of that axon, which helps in the rapid transmission of nerve impulses.
